Abstract

We examine the appearance of open source software in computer science education. We will undertake with a concise tutorial on open source software introduction, including a depiction of major popular open source licenses. Later we deliberate the use of open source software in education discipline. We Present some advantage of open source software in the field of education Finally, we focus on the use of open source software in computer science education.
